Current Series
“What happens when Jesus takes someone from death to life?
From Grave to Glory is a brand-new series all about the power of a testimony — real stories of brokenness, rescue, freedom, and transformation through Christ. We’re diving into what God can do in a life that’s surrendered to Him, why your story matters more than you think, and then how we can equip you to share yours.
In Part I, we’ll explore powerful stories from Scripture and discover how God uses testimonies to change hearts and point people to Jesus. Then in Part II after camp, Students will step up to share their own stories of what God has done in their lives.
This is more than just another series; it’s a chance to see that no one is too far gone, no story is too messy, and God still brings people from graves to glory. Bring your friends, lean in, and come expectant! Your story could change someone else’s life.”
